1:72 Whirlwind Mk.I wheels and canopy frame paint masks

Westland Whirlwind Mk.I: mask 1:72 (Peewit)

This is a self-adhesive masking set from Peewit for a model of the twin-engine Westland Whirlwind Mk.I fighter in 1:72 scale. The set holds masks for the canopy frames and masks for the wheel hubs for a sharp, clean separation of colors without a hand brush.

The real subject

The Westland Whirlwind was a British twin-engine fighter of the early Second World War, one of the first heavy fighters of the Royal Air Force with concentrated cannon armament in the nose. Precisely sprayed canopy frames and wheel hubs give a small model a clean, true-to-scale look.

Use

• Transfer the frame masks onto the glazing and apply the hub masks to the wheels.
• First spray the interior color, then the final camouflage.
• Take the masks off once the paint has set, for a sharp edge.
• Meant for models of the British Whirlwind fighter.

Who it is for

• Modelers who want sharp frames and hubs without painting by hand.
• Builders in a small scale.
• Beginners and advanced modelers with an airbrush alike.

A mask is an aid for painting; it holds no paints and no model.
